U.S. Patent 5,938,899. Aug. 17, 1999 J.L. Forand, Whitehall, Pa.

An anode containment basket for holding soluble anodes adjacent a surface of a substrate in a plating bath comprising a nonconductive conduit having a first open end opposite a second open end; an end cap having a nonconductive open web mesh, the end cap attached to the conduit so that the nonconductive open web mesh covers the first open end of the conduit; and a conductive grid attached to an electric energy source and adapted to hold solu-

ble anodes, the conductive grid positioned within the nonconductive conduit to place the soluble anodes adjacent the nonconductive open web mesh that covers the first open end of the conduit. COLOR-PLUS-CLEAR COATING
